Default 1951 Toleteros Gibson on Leland's

Posted By: Chad

It just is. (The Toleteros are cards, not stickers. You had to use glue to put them in an album, just like you would with '87 Topps.) The greatest catcher of all time, and very possibly the greatest player. He hit .370 with power after he had gained 70 pounds and was shooting heroin every night. And that Toleteros is all we've got. One of the top ten cards in the hobby, easily. IMHO of course.
